I'm very impressed with BY'ers today...

[EricLA]

While the current post count of the ND vs. FSU game is only at 38, and the Tenn vs LSU post count is 75, the SC vs. Missouri post count is 107! So even on a happy day where Tenn loses to an unranked team, BY'ers had more to say about a very competitive and feisty SC vs. Mizzou game. Moving in the right direction?! Baby steps, mods!

And if we could just move past AEH speculation then we'd really be doing good....

On paper, it looked like there would be a number of interesting games. Frankly, I didn't have WV - Baylor on that list, but it was very entertaining. MO SC was entertaining, but watching ND demolish FL State, well, I had a little appreciation for what non- UConn fans must feel when watching many UConn games.

As I mentioned in another thread, why should we care about a team that's basically irrelevant for a decade. The worst thing in this world is to be irrelevant. I don't think about Tennessee, I don't care about Tennessee. They could not beat us once in 50 tries this year or any of the last 5-8 years. Let them lie in there grave like the dead carcasses they are.

I think a significant fraction of the interest is because SC is our next opponent and we want to better understand their team in detail and how they look. Add to that, the particularly bad blood between the teams and it was on ESPN2 in prime time so it is not surprising. I am interested in TN much the same way a scientist looks at
a strange ecosystem and try to ponder what happens when so many high talent players play without real direction. I was rewarded in seeing the undersized underdog just go nuts on the offensive glass and wondering how that can happen and left to ponder what attracts these kids there. I get that UConn is not for everyone but there are so many other top 20 schools that have better structure. Anyway, that was a fun 2 hours.

Tennessee has a coach who wears paisley blouses and they wonder why their game is stuck in the 70s?

We can revel in their irrelevance. Don't try to take away our joy.

SC are also the reigning national champions, so should be considered a worthy opponent. I will admit to a guilty pleasure of enjoying the discomfort of TN fans as they watch their team implode yet again. Every year they have to go through the five stages of grief to get back to "wait for next year." Wasn't it only a few short weeks ago that we had a surge of TN fans on the board announcing their triumphant return to the spotlight? I miss those guys now.

Why comment ad-nausea on the Tenn-LSU thread when we can go and look at VolNation and get infinite enjoyment of them eating their own. We simply have to post after the game and shake our heads on the continued "Fire Holly" rally cry from the not-so faithful...

FOTFLOL.

I'm interested because I'm waiting for the woman that's half bear and half cat to show up.

Here's a thought, AEH has moved on, why don't we join her?

Your here a week and a half and bored already? When a player of that caliber moves on for any reason the topic is going to last for awhile. Not everyone comes here every day and most realize if it is a topic they don't care to read about there is a simple solution for that.
Welcome to The Boneyard from Rehoboth Beach, I have relatives an alley-oop from you in Lewes. Being from that area you may be familiar with a very successful Blue Hen that was a transfer from UConn. You can be glad you had not been on board here at that time if the AEH posts are bothering you.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I'm impressed with the Boneyarders EVERY day.

Well, most of them.
